As you will be aware, we have been designated as lead committee for consideration of the LCM and will focus our scrutiny on aspects of the Bill which engage devolved competence in relation to environmental law in Scotland, namely through the provisions in part 5 of the Bill which seek to establish a new regime of ‘Environmental Outcome Reports’ (EORs) across the UK. At our meeting on 4 October 2022, the Committee took evidence on the LCM from stakeholders.
